he has no pizzaz...he is arrogant and acts entitled to this...we will NOT win with him. Flynn is good, so is Vinehout.

He's done a successful job of managing a critically important statewide agency that gives him the bona fides to challenge Scott Walker on education in our state.

I have met and spoken with him personally at a fund raiser. I did not find him arrogant in that setting. I agree to a point that pizzaz would be good, but the ability to win a statewide race is indispensable.

I am not as familiar with Matt Flynn, but I am wondering what were his accomplishments as a Democratic party leader. Did he leave the state party in an improved condition?

I have also met and spoken with Kathleen Vineout on a number of occasions. Her stances on the issues are very good. I am not certain how strong she is at building coalitions and other executive management skills, at least in comparison to Evers.

I was leaning Kelda Roys, now I am leaning Evers.

Registered voters

Does Scott Walker deserve to be re-elected 34
Give a new person a chance 61

Does Donald Trump deserve to be re-elected 31
Give a new person a chance 63

Say goodbye

Though I would love to beat that SOB.


13 points seems a little much.

I've wagered on politics since 1992. In the early days I always dreamed of bullshit polls like this, no matter the source, because they would switch the betting odds dramatically. Nowadays the garbage polls don't mean much at all, because Nate Silver defined political math and now it is merely one plot on the graph and the betting line perspective remains rigid.

If we defeat Walker it will be narrowly.
